The Vibergs were asking for an investment to keep their company going. I think this was from two years ago. Haven't gone through the entire episode yet but it's surprising to say the least that a brand with their pricing, quality, and reputation would have financial troubles. They seem like good folks.

edit: ok this is hilarious, they ask the vibergs to make a woman's boot and then fly in the owner of some random Canadian boutique that carries kenneth cole and varvatos boots to critique the product.

What is it with people trying to squeeze into the smallest possible shoes?

It's a pretty standard issue with shoe sizing. I went along that line for a while, and realized how much my foot hurt. So now I'm back to proper sizing, focusing on getting the right fit when my foot has all my weight on it (since that spreads your foot out) and not being as concerned with how it fits when I have no weight on it. Also, boot socks. It's amazing how many people on SF get shocked that some people would wear boot socks with boots.

Exactly, There is no way i can wear boot socks with my Viberg's. they are dress sock only. I would need to go up half a size in order to wear proper boot socks.

Heh, well my point was that people should buy larger boots and wear them with boot socks. Not going to try to convince people not to wear thin socks, but people on the forums get incredulous at the idea that some of us wear our boots with nice thick socks. Thin socks in the winter with boots is just miserable, while thick socks in the summer is just fine.

Danner socks for me in all Vibergs. It helps with both fit and comfort

I've recently started wearing Darn Tough socks with almost everything except for dress shoes. They come in multiple different styles and thicknesses. They cost a bit more than regular socks but then again they have a lifetime warranty as well.

After lengthy discussions with Morgan and Guy from Viberg, I decided to get size 8 in 2030 for the future makeups.
Be aware though, some members wear same size as their Alden Trubalance/Barrie.

As for breaking in, these became extremely comfortable after 6-8 wears.

cheers

Can you gents help with 2040 sizing relative to the 2030? In 2030 for my 2 cxl service boots, I take my Barrie size, which is roomy, but very comfy. Steel28, whose opinions I respect on this thread and in Aldenville, seems to go TTS minus one whole size for 2040. Some have said if you have widish feet, you should go Barrie rather than a whole size down. So is 2040 = 2030 for sizing? Is the better heuristic to go with Barrie/Trubalance sizing? Any help is greatly appreciated!
